A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Thesprotia graminis
Very slender, light brown , maybe 3.5" long.
On my front porch window, central Florida. Mid-afternoon.
Flew away when I got too close . Tried to keep itself a slender as possible, even stretching out the grabbing claws straight- until I got too close with the camera !
